Saturday Fun

Saturday went spent time as a family (since i had to go to work sunday afternoon) at the Lazy 5 Ranch. We have heard so many good things about this place since we moved here..it just took us almost 3 years to come (can you believe we have been here almost 3 years?)

Anyways, we had a great time. The Lazy 5 Ranch is a exotic animal drive thru park. It was like we were on our own private safari. The animals are so used to people that they just come right up to your window and eat feed out of your buckets. At first this freaked out the kids but about the time we were done Mary Alice was willing to try and feed the animals if I held her bucket with her. Here are some of the many animals we saw on our safari!


Rams....



Longhorns....



Giraffe's...


Rhino's...





Camels...



Zebra's....


Water buffalo...


Lamas



and "peckers" (as Ma would say) you most likely call them ostriches. They scared Mary Alice the most because they were very forceful moving their heads up and down when eating out of your bucket.



This guy about freaked me out...we all have our window's down and when i turned to look out my window this is who i saw!

I will not bore you with any more animal pics. They also had a great park area. We packed our lunch and the kids ate and played. The weather was awesome and we had such a great time just being together.



I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Love all your blog updates! Hey . . . what church do your parents attend? Just curious . . . we have some good friends that have just moved to that area and are looking for a new church home.

That looks like so much fun. I hate we never did that when we lived there. We need to have a catch-up talk!

We got a sweet message from your mom & dad; it was great to hear from them! =) We're going to be visiting our friends in a couple of weeks so maybe we'll be lucky enough to see your parents! Please tell them 'thanks' for their message! We miss you all!
